The potential energy would be zero. Only kinetic energy is present in this case. To find out what the answer is we do the equation: mv^2/2 soo...
KE =mv^2/2
KE= 1(2^2)/2 which the answer will come up by 2 Joules.
Answer:
x = 0.396 m
Explanation:
The best way to solve this problem is to divide it into two parts: one for the clash of the putty with the block and another when the system (putty + block) compresses it is spring
Data the putty has a mass m1 and velocity vo1, the block has a mass m2
. t's start using the moment to find the system speed.
Let's form a system consisting of putty and block; For this system the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved. Let's write the moment before the crash
p₀ = m1 v₀₁
Moment after shock
= (m1 + m2) 
p₀ =
m1 v₀₁ = (m1 + m2) 
= v₀₁ m1 / (m1 + m2)
= 4.4 600 / (600 + 500)
= 2.4 m / s
With this speed the putty + block system compresses the spring, let's use energy conservation for this second part, write the mechanical energy before and after compressing the spring
Before compressing the spring
Em₀ = K = ½ (m1 + m2)
²
After compressing the spring
= Ke = ½ k x²
As there is no rubbing the energy is conserved
Em₀ = 
½ (m1 + m2)
² = = ½ k x²
x =
√ (k / (m1 + m2))
x = 2.4 √ (11/3000)
x = 0.396 m
Resultant is the correct answer!
Given :
Vector A has a magnitude of 63 units and points west, while vector B has the same magnitude and points due south.
To Find :
The magnitude and direction of
a) A + B .
b) A - B.
Solution :
Let , direction in north is given by +j and east is given by +i .
So ,
and 
Now , A + B is given by :


Direction of A+B is 45° north of west .
Also , for A-B :


Direction of A-B is 45° south of west .
( When two vector of same magnitude which are perpendicular to each other are added or subtracted the resultant is always 45° from each of them)
Hence , this is the required solution .
